Maj. Alan Rogers (r), Maj Jeff Becker, 6-year-old Cole Becker and mother Jenelle applaud the Washington Capitals Thursday night. Rogers said the best thing about the game was that the Capitals invited so many Walter Reed patients.

WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Jan. 20, 2006) Among more than 900 Soldiers watching the Washington Capitals beat the St. Louis Blues, 5-4, Thursday night in an overtime shootout, was a wounded warrior who aspires to one day play competitive Hockey Jerseys again.
Spc. Tim Taylor played Sharks Jerseys 14 years in high school and city leagues before most of his left hand was blown off in Iraq. Now he says Walter Reed Army Medical Center will provide him with an adaptive hand so he can compete again.
